The president of the European Fee and candidate of the European Individuals’s Celebration for a second time period within the management of the Fee, Ursula von der Leyen, had a gathering with the French president Emmanuel Macron as we speak in Paris.
After her assembly with the French president, Ursula von der Leyen wrote to “X”: “I thank the French President Emmanuel Macron for the trade of views on the European strategic agenda, the problems of the Summit of the G7 nations and the peace convention for Ukraine. Our help for Ukraine stays an existential precedence for Europe, on which we work intently collectively.”

Why did they meet?
The assembly between the French president and Ursula von der Leyen in Paris occurred a couple of days earlier than the casual summit on June 17, throughout which the European leaders, throughout a dinner, will make a first dialogue for the collection of individuals within the EU’s prime places of work (Presidents of the Fee, the Council, the Parliament and the Excessive Consultant for International Affairs and Safety Coverage).
When does the dialogue finish?
This debate is predicted to be concluded at its European Council June 27-28, wherein European leaders will determine, by certified majority, who will take over the reins of the Fee. Thus far, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni have been tight-lipped about their intentions to re-elect Ursula von der Leyen.
The paradox is even larger for the French president, following the defeat suffered by Marine Le Pen’s far-right celebration within the June 9 European elections and his determination to name early parliamentary elections in France.
It’s as much as the European Council to nominate the one that will chair the Fee – an individual who will be capable to win an absolute majority of MEPs and based on an unwritten rule the winner of the European elections can declare the workplace.
Primarily based on the results of the Eurocalp final Sunday and the clear victory of the EPP, its candidate, Ursula von der Leyen, appears to be in a very good beginning place for a brand new time period within the presidency of the Fee.
The three political teams that type an off-the-cuff coalition within the European Parliament: the European Individuals’s Celebration (189 seats), the Socialists and Democrats (135 seats) and the Middle-Liberals (79 seats), collect a complete of 403 out of 720 seats, i.e. a snug majority, effectively above the minimal threshold of 361 votes.
However nothing has been determined but.
Supply: RES-MPE
